Hey Brook! I'm finally all caught up again! I haven't been on DIS for a few days (maybe a week?) because I've been spending way too much time researching the new Vinylmation releases (Park 5 coming out Oct 22 and Urban 5 coming out Nov 6). I seriously need to stop my obsession!
Anyway, I'm all caught up now & I'm also trying to post an update on my report. Its a "non-Disney" related update & its going to be a very good one! I probably won't have it done this evening (but hopefully by tomorrow) so you'll have to check it out (if you like country music!)
I absolutely
your updates! When I saw your update from Beaches & Cream, it reminded me of our trip! Right across from the pool, beside that windmill, is Hurricane Hanna's where we ate lunch the day of our private photo session! It brought back good memories! I also can't believe how close I actually was to Beaches & Cream!!! It was on my "to do list" for that day but we never made it there! If I had known we were so close, I would've definitely went over! Oops!
Glad you made it to a rope drop...we've still never been! I'm sorry it didn't meet your expectations...I was actually afraid of that happening, that's why I never rush everyone around just to get there. I don't want my DH or DS to be mad at me because I made them rush all morning & then they don't enjoy it. But since you said yours was missing the song & dancing, I guess I'll have to wait to hear about your next experience with rope drop before forming an opinion myself!
Aren't those chocolate croissants good??? YUMMY!!!!! They are soooo good! I got one at DHS at Starring Rolls!
Your selections all looked very good!
Glad to see all of the pictures of the Halloween decor at MK! I can't wait to see it in person someday! I love the lightposts the best along with the Mickey pumpkin heads along the front gates! Very nice!
Thanks for posting the pics from Fantasyland! Its great to see how its changed since I was there in June! I figured that a ton had happened...unfortunately I don't have any pics over the construction walls because we didn't ride Dumbo (waaaay too long wait lines!) but I saw other people's reports from June.
I'm glad you got to visit ToonTown! Luke loved the houses as well! He talks about Mickey's house all the time now. I'm not sure he realized Mickey had a house before (just a clubhouse like on tv...lol) I loved seeing the pictures of Henry in Minnie's house...all the kids LOVE that kitchen! I completely forgot to visit the ToonTown gift shop this past trip! Last trip, it was my favorite shop but I missed it this time. They have sooo much in there!
Loved the pictures from your solo trip down the Boardwalk! Looks like alot of good eating places there! I'll definitely check it out next trip. All the pictures you took of the Boardwalk, inside and outside, are beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing them!
I almost forgot...you know that coral colored shirt with the black Mickey heads on it that you saw in the Boardwalk gift shop? That's the shirt that I saw at the airport & was completely obsessed with finding it again at the parks!
I finally found it again at Mousegears at Epcot!
I am soooooo excited for you & your mom!!!
How exciting for her to get to move up her retirement date...AND move to the greatest place in the entire world!!!
That is amazing to hear that she is so happy & that you guys will get to take more trips to FL!
